got development $$. I do the reworks on them and people baulk at that.

ALL of it is processor based and the code needs to be pulled out, reworked and put back in place. a russian company was mucking around with the translation side of things but no maps.

Hard to say. I was driving in a storm and lots of debris on the road and driving rain but I thought I heard a noise that may have been it. Considering it is just in front of the driver and the plastic fractures I would expect to hear/feel something. Good thing I checked my gauges soon after driving along motorway and picked it up. I got off and parked up pronto else it would have been much worse.

Pics yet Jules?

I'm more curious about the diameter of the sub and how big the enclosure is that it sits in.

Oh...ok I will go down stairs now and take some pics with the phone and measure for you....

Well my phone battery is dead, but it is 360mm across and 140mm deep

SO I get to 104 k and the top radiator hose connector breaks. Quite common apparently and can's be repaired. Now I have a 10 day wait for part ex Japan $140nzd. :D

now I'm told I must wait until the 17th at least (back order) and no loan car in sight

This car is proving to be a problem ;) unlike the old one

Are you going through Nissan? Maybe I could make a suggestion if Nissan in NZ is slow....order it through an Australian Nissan dealer(e.g Hornsby Nissan)...pay for it via credit card and see how long it takes them to get the parts delivered to you directly....it should not take 2 weeks......I just ordered a powerduct new headrests and spark plugs and they only took 4 days door to door.

or maybe just look at getting a new one made.

Perhaps one of you Aussies could find out what the locals say but Nissan my side say it's Japan that can't supply sooner.

Give me the part number...I will have a go for you...worst case scenario I get it shipped to me then over to you.

Even if we just find out timelines for future reference.....saves you getting stuffed around with no car for weeks.....might be an extra courier cost though :)

Just spoke to Hornsby Nissan. They said max of 10 day's but most of them are 5 day's or under. e.g. as I mentioned my stuff was about 4 days.

P.S. They also said the parts are readily available in Japan so shipment would be straight away.

Out of curiosity, what is the part number for the spark plugs?

I have been given 3 different numbers for m35 spark plugs from Nissan dealers (and for some reason, FAST doesn't like me at the moment).

Don't know wether this is the number or not...but it's the # on my receipt from Nissan. Pretty sure they are NGK as well.

NI22401-5M016.....they are also $24.15 each.....add's up when you have 6 of them :banana:

I have just spoken to Tony @ Northshore. He gave me the part number NI22401-AQ816 and made it clear that only this plug should be used.

Also spoke to NGK (part # LFR6AP-9), "It is not on our system, it is not a plug we bring into the country". Talk about helpful customer service... :starwars:

Nissan ferntree gully have ordered them 10-12 days... $23.20ea... yep, it adds up but it least they should last 100,000kms.

  • 2 weeks later...

got it back finally but I'd be looking at getting a metal one fabricated if I knew what I was in for - apparently this can be done in 3 days or less and only a hundy or so more

getting mixed opinions on the life of these plastic top rads too mine lasted just 6 years and 100,000 km's

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
